How would your life be, if you and your partner were always on the same side… facing life’s challenges together?
A relationship is a dynamic pattern of advancing and retreating ‘energies’. A healthy relationship is a graceful dance of balanced and constructive interactions. Indeed, the quality of your life is determined by the health of your relationships.
The Relationship Dance is a guide for anyone who wants to improve their ability to relate, communicate and share happiness and meaning with a loved one!
In this book, you will discover how to:
- Create a solid foundation with the Five Relationship Graces
- Remain balanced and constructive, even when you face differences
- ‘Clean up your own act’ to develop a healthy and rewarding relationship
- Build and maintain a complementary and interdependent relationship
- Communicate assertively and speak your truth with kindness
- Revivify that ‘honeymoon feeling’
You may be looking for a partner. Or you and your partner may be having difficulties. Or you have a good relationship and you want to make it even better. Wherever you are on the relationship continuum, you’ll find value in The Relationship Dance.
It is filled with information that is both ‘diagnostic’ to help you identify problems and areas for improvement, and ‘strategies' to create and maintain a healthy and balanced relationship. The concepts are clearly described, and the personal examples make it easy to see Melody and Joe have been ‘walking their talk’ for 25 years. If relationship is important to you, I highly recommend you read this book.
